Astrology seems to be a relatively uncharted area of Lusternia. What does it really do?

What he meant to say is that it gives a set of afflictions or defenses, depending on the alignment of the stars, and it is far from uncharted.
Daganev2006-04-25 23:55:52
Its well charted by the few people who chose to chart it, however its highly unroleplayed... which I was sad about.

Oh, this reminds me. Does anybody know where I can get my hands on a picture showing the zodiac wheel and which signs are opposite of each other?

You can use the silly little one I put in my system after having stolen it from Sylleria!

CODE
<                        Volcano
<               Glacier             Antlers
<         Bumblebee                   Twin Crystals
<       Skull                                 Dolphin
<           Dragon                        Lion
<                Spider            Crocodile
<                     Burning Censer


It's not really uncharted, it just seems kind of complicated so non-astrologers don't really bother asking. The rest of us know more-or-less how the system works.

Find a fellow astrologer and ask them about it, and you'll probably get more information than you ever wanted to know. I know I did x_x If you're a Serenwilder, Laysus and Nejii should know the most. Dunno about other orgs.

Kharvik for Magnagorans! Penelope I think for Glomdoring. happy.gif

It's a skillset for people with too much free time.

Yeah, coming from someone with 3852 posts on the Lusternian boards alone. tongue.gif

So... If Dolphin is the opposite of Skull(Mag and Celest) and Spider is the opposite of Antlers(Glom and Seren). Then by logic Volcano would be the opposite to Burning Censer(Hali and Gaud) and also, there will be a commune for Glacier and Crocodile...

So we can theorize the following

Hackleberry will be more Swampy like

There is the posibility for a commune of northern(Icy) forest ohmy.gif

Actually Gaudiguch is dragon and Hallifax is twin crystals. (We worked that out based on the Astral sphere positionings and RL zodiac.)

(That and it makes sense anyway.)

Laysus has the best system I've seen so far for Astrology.

makes sense...

what about Ackleberry?
Shiri2006-04-26 09:17:33
Ackleberry it's impossible to tell with as they have no node on the Astral plane, not being a city and all.

Well, if you make calculations I think(me being an ignorant in the whole astrology) the following element/sign/Zodiac/Astal/city pattern can solve some misteries

Volcano - fire - Aries
Glacier - Water - Picsis - Ithaqua ohmy.gif
Bumblebee -Air - Acuarius
Skull - Earth - Capricorn - Magnagora
Dragon - Fire - Sagitarius - Gaudiguch
Spider - Water - Scorpion - Glomdoring

Antlers - Earth - Taurus - Serenwilde
Twin Crystals - Air - Geminis - Halifax
Dolphin - Water - Cancer - Celest
Lion - Fire - Leo
Crocodile - Earth - Virgo - Ackleberry
Burning Censer - Air - Libra

So, using this, I will predict that:

Ackleberry will ally themselves with Seren/Celest/Halifax

Magnagora/Glomdoring will ally themselves with Gaudiguch

Imperian will invade and create Ithaqua, allying themselves with the Tainted evil commies mad.gif


Or maybe it's 5am and I'm tired as hell... stupid school

Not the case. I think there are logs of people like Nokraenom telling fortunes flowing around somewhere, and the moondancers at one point had large groups of people devoted to spending most of their time in front of the astrolabe charting stars.

Okay.... But can someone explain this:

Astrology Skill List

It's not as self-explanatory as the other skills are............

Basically, everything you need to know is in Volcano, as far as spheres go.
